Somali Depression Profile

Waxbaro!:
There are some people who say that Muslims can't be depressed and if they are it is a weakness in faith....
But what I am sure about and mentioned in this topic is:

--- Quote ---The Somalis are deeply religious, and the Muslim faith greatly affects their response to traumas and sadness. Firstly, they often see traumas as “God's will.”  They are chosen by Allah to deal with these traumas. Secondly, the Koran states that a person who commits suicide will go to hell. As a result, it is believed that suicide ideation and suicide attempts happen less frequently than we see in the general population.
--- End quote ---
Waxbaro!

Mustafa:
In general, The preponderance of depression amongst females has been a consistent finding, whether in children, adolescents, undergraduates, adults, the aged, depression disorder patients, or in community surveys.

But there is inadequate research data on the prevalency of depression among somali's living abroad. considerable risk factors might be the language of the country where they live, social integrity, employment and immigration policy.

Pharmacist:
Generally, Somali people don't believe in depression, even when they are depressed, they call it "CAAJIS"
